[QUOTE="Kansaswoodguy, post: 1152702, member: 83267"] Experience helps but baring that I look at the reloading manuals for a given caliber and usually see powders on the lighter bullet weights that are not there for the heavy bullets and vise versus you can then look at a powder burn rate chart and get an idea of which powders are going to work for what bullet weights. This is no exact science but helps when looking for altranate powders not readily found in manuals or matching burn rates with bullet weights for optimum accuracy and volocity. I tried all sorts of powder charges for 75gr bullets with imr 3031 in 223 my go to powder for 55gr pills and never found a decent load final changed to imr4895 and got great accuracy. I've read articles saying burn rates are meaningless but experience tells me there is value in using them. [/QUOTE]
